The updated Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and new Heavy Vehicle Accreditation (HVA) scheme took effect on 1 August 2026. No new NHVAS accreditation is being granted, but existing NHVAS operators can continue to operate under the NHVAS until the expiry of their NHVAS accreditation. To continue your accreditation under HVA please see NHVAS transition to HVA scheme.
The National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme (NHVAS) was a national formal process for recognising operators who have robust safety management systems in place.
Heavy vehicle operators could apply for accreditation under the following NHVAS modules:
- Mass Management
- Maintenance Management
- Fatigue Management (Basic or Advanced)
The NHVAS is managed by the NHVR, our dedicated accreditation team is available to help with the development of applications. Contact us with any enquiries or if you need assistance.
